Citroen C2

A mixed bag for the little Citroen. While it is at least consistent –– the C2 finished 80th in last year’'s survey, too –– you tell us it’'s poorly built and that you can'’t get on with its impractical three-door-only bodystyle. Weak engines are also criticised for their performance, while uncomfortable seats and a stiff ride get low marks. With a constant stream of cashback deals, the C2 is one of the cheapest cars in its class –– which perhaps explains why 91 per cent of owners didn'’t expect any better.

Your Quotes

“It is a low cost car with limited space, speed, seating but it delivers low running costs ie high (avg 64 mpg) and has low road fund tax p.a . Over all it is a good buy.”

Mr Paul Brittain - Liecester

“One of the best small hacthbacks I've ever owned - I will be buying another for sure!”

Mr David Bramley - Chester

“Excellent for city living and parking although petrol consumption is a little on the poor side! but size and a spacious interior outweighs the negatives on petrol pain!”

Emma Davies - Cheshire

“Extremely reliable little car perfect for running around town in and occasional trips out on main roads and dual carriageways.”

Mrs Myra Wootton - Walsall

“A great lttle car. The SensoDrive makes for a fun drive (with triptronic) or a easy drive (in automatic).”

Richard Parkin - Sheffield

“A good small car and value for money.”

Mr John Evans - Stourbridge

MANUFACTURER VERDICT

Wow! Citroen’'s in seventh heaven. While 23rd overall is hardly cause for celebration, a jump of seven places is a huge step in the right direction for the firm that found itself only seven steps from last place in 2006. Focusing its attention back on to producing design-led models that are genuinely desirable, it looks like things are on the up. However, there'’s still a long way to go...
